XXL has an interview with Cassie talking about "Rock a Bye Baby," the mixtape she will release on Thursday, how she first felt about "Me & U" and more.

I remember when you were recording your first album at 18 or 19 that you were going through a process of sounds. What can you tell me about the direction of this tape?

It�s completely different than the beginning. I think that honestly. It�s been seven years later and going through making all of these different records and trying all of these different things that got me to this point. I am experimenting with sounds was experimenting with my voice and how far I wanted to take things and how minimal I wanna keep it. That�s kind of the quality of my work is in the simplicity of it. I don�t think I overdo anything. I leave it so DJs can remix it and it not be complicated. It�s creative. It�s made for the DJ. It�s made for people who wanna listen to music and vibe out, but it�s just a new sound.

It�s fun on it too because I experimented with sampling records that I personally really like. So I did a remix to �M.A.A.d City.� Kendrick Lamar�s �M.A.A.d City.� I�m actually singing on it, but its dope. I did a record with Too $hort and it�s a sample from the Tyga record �Do My Dance.� It�s all over the place and it�s really cool that we got people from all genres and walks of life, like Too $hort being from out here, Jeremih is from Chicago, everybody else is from New York, we got little pieces of everything on the tape.
